520 _aIn the single largest demographic phenomenon of the past half-cen tury, women have taken their place side-by-side with men in the workplace, changing the look if not the spirit of business. Their in creasing power as they reach for the top-to use Nancy Nichols' ex cellent image-has prompted the Harvard Business Review to examine this phenomenon. HBR's mission is to convey cutting-edge ideas be fore they become conventional wisdom, to provoke debate that helps thoughtful managers challenge their assumptions. It is in that spirit that Nichols has collected HBR's best analyses, most current advice, successful role models, and controversial issues. To gether they raise a provocative set of questions. Do women manage differently from men? Can demanding careers accommodate family needs? How should companies encourage potential leaders who do not fit a single mold? Questions like these are often raised first in the United States, but their relevance should be clear to managers and companies throughout the world, as competitive pressures put human resource issues on center stage nearly everywhere.
